Has they fixed the bug where scrolling horizontally using a mouse that has horizontal scroll wheel (such as logitech mx master) would also scroll the page vertically?
Edit: just tried v7.5.0.127, it still have the scrolling bug. If this bug were fixed I basically have no issue left with onlyoffice, it works very well except for this super annoying bug.
Have you submitted a bug report?
You know that OnlyOffice doesn't care about bug reports don't you? I mean Latin chars such as "é à í" have been broken in the iPad version while using a keyboard since... ever. Dozens of reports filled by multiple people, problem still there.
I see 306 issues and 0 pull requests. That's got to be a bit discouraging as an open source project maintainer - plenty of people filing bug reports but no one that cares enough to help fix the bugs.
Don't forget that OnlyOffice isn't truly open-source. It is a commercial company selling an alternative to MS Office that is focused on the server for collaboration and you've to pay for it. We can't except much traction from people on a project that works like that. Even the license is kind of questionable as it is AGPL but their websites isn't so clear on how free you're to use it and modify the thing.
I don't think there are any sustainable fully open source software out there that are used for consumers besides the ones that reach a critical mass of support. And even then as a software gets more complex the more there are sacrifices to the FOSS model. You should read the boad discuss forum for TDF/Libreoffice. Collabora is trying to nerf the free version of TDF and the board reps are in this toxic battle with Collabora board reps. Eventually FOSS software needs a stable revenue stream besides donations.

Yes, yes I've been following that since LibreOffice Online was frozen.
There are plenty of pull requests here: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/core/pulls
The bug report was created on Nov 3, 2022: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/issues/1094. The bug still persists.
There is an even older bug report for this from 2019: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/issues/536
Are you a programmer? If so, the code is open source, so you could try fixing it on your own; it doesn't seem that hard to fix. You could try to find where they are handling scroll input and see if there is anything that tells you what direction it is. Then if it's horizontal just ignore it.
Even if it's actually an easy fix, as a new contributor you'll need some degree of familiarity with the codebase before you can identify the bug and figure out the proper way to fix it. Getting there may require quite significant time investment, especially for project this big where the code seems to be split across 4 rather large git repos. I don't have much free time left to dig into a large project like this at the moment.
Also, if it's really that easy to fix, I feel like the devs would've fixed this already in the past 4 years, though it's possible the devs simply don't use any mouse with horizontal scroll support to reproduce the issue.
